Stephen Colbert vs. Goldman Sachs Continues

Stephen Colbert continues to make comedic hay at Goldman Sachs’s expense. Colbert has been holding hostage what he says is a misplaced credit card belonging to Buckley T. Ratchford, a partner at Goldman Sachs.

Colbert has promised to return the credit card if Ratchford appears on “the Colbert Report” to talk about Wall Street bonuses– not a welcoming invitation from a king of skewering politicos and bankers. Colbert vowed to reveal one number from the credit card each night until Ratchford agreed to an interview. (The first number was a “5.”)

Last night, Colbert made a show of reading an email he said was from the Goldman Sachs’s office of global security — “which I believe is a euphemism for assassination squad,” he said — to ask Colbert to return the credit card.
